Safety of NSmen outfield reservist training needs urgent rev

The >60% who are excused IPPT should be tested in some other way
(swimming/ cycling options as are available to regular servicemen).
With so many Singaporeans suffering from diabetes and the like and
dropping dead @ work etc, all persons doing any outfield training
should undergo a medical examination etc before ICT, the equivalent
as if they were required to perform the IPPT test: otherwise it is
only commonsense to permanently by default excuse them from
running, marching, jumping, heavy loads since their physical
fitness for reservist outfield activities is effectively suspect,
dubious /unknown.

% of all NSmen who are
able to achieve minimum pass @ IPPT =
[(116,000/2) / 300,000+] = <<19.33333%
Or much less than 20% considering
that denominator is in excess of 300,000
personnel.

% of all 'operationally
ready' NSmen who are actually medically fit to take
IPPT=
116,000 / 300,000 = <38.666%
Less than 40% NSmen are physically (medically) fit enough to
qualify for IPPTtesting
to have their fitness recorded and computed annually.

I was just drawing the association to improve SAF NSmen outfield
training SAFETY in Singapore because for the >60% who undergo
ZERO form of medical/ physical fitness testing, they may have
hidden diabetes, high blood pressure etc and suddenly
collaspe anytime : thus the benefit of expanding the IPPT system so
that the untested >60% can also be tested to... cannot leave any
stone unturned in the war against diabetes I guess.
